Sir I have read two more stories of Chekhov.
"In The Graveyard"
The story describes a graveyard where a man who is almost at the end of his life comes to the graveyard for the last time to forgive the person who was his biggest enemy who now is dead and lies beneath the depth of the grave. One of the line in the story I have loved the most and that is -
". . . forgotten friend Mushkin . . .".
Time had erased the never, and corrected the falsehood of man.
"The Album"- This is another story that reflects the true colour of the human nature.Its about a General who, after a long duty of ten years, retires. Its a sorrowful moment for him and his sub-ordinates that a man serving his country for long years will now retire.The sub-ordinates presented him with an album containing picture of themselves. But as the General returned home all the sorrow moments disappeared and his true colour was revealed when he gave the album away to his children - he tore the pictures into pieces.
